Chairman Camden of DsmoGratlc
Campaign Comir,!!: C:i the
Issues ot the Day.
JohnBon N. Camden of Woodford
county, chairman ot tho Democratic
tato campaign committee, in hli
opening address to the conference of
editors of tho Democratic press of
Kentucky, at LouIbtIUo on Saturday,
Sept 28th, spoke as follows:
Gentlemen of the Democratic Press
of Kentucky:
"I feel extremely honored In harln
sure you of my appreciation of the
compliment that you hare paid us in
Jeavlng your homes and business and
oming; here today to attend this conference.
The occasion that brings us
together for mutual counsel and deliberation
Is, In my Judgment, as
epoch-making as any event In tho history
qt our state.
"Tho Democratic party the party
i tun vm,vm, oiwmcn you eenuemea
re, in a way. the eyes the ears and
..' -
certainly the mouthpiece, is on trial
before the world for Its existeice.
Coincident with the life of the
cratic party are our free institutions,
tho perpetuity of our form of govern
ment and the equal opportunity im life
of every child bern undor our flag.
"Upon careful thought and analysis I
think you will agree that this is not
an exaggerated statement, and that
tho fato of the two, the nation and
tho Democratic party, are Inseparably
tied together.
"I am equally confident that posterity
will accord to jou gentlemen or
the DemoogJIc press of Kentucky a
place In tho Hall of Fame, It not in
bronze, at least In grateful memory
lor the patriotic service that you will
render to jour state and country.
Corporate Contributions Deadly.
"Through your agency our times
?n?J!:?:BlVrr"B,"t:i!.,! !
Incredible rapidity. It has a direct
bearing upon our environment and '
the conditions that mould our dally
life. The majority of the men and I
women of our land see clearly now
what was only dimly outlined to them I
si few years ago, and to which we I
Tald lit tip hed Wp did rot realize
then as we rto now that every
financed by the incorporated in
terests was in effect a deadly blow to
the development of patriotism In the
American people.
"Tho Republican party is responsible
for this condition, for It has been
r vast commercial body out for revenue
only, nnd those Interests which
contributed most liberally to Its success
received In return the largest
measure of protection through the
provisions or its tariff laws. I can
hardly bellee that the corporations
themselves foresaw the results of
their liberal contributions, for I am
sure that no set of men could be
found who with that end in view
bp such deliberate traitors to
their country.
Charity and Philanthropy.
"You know, gentlemen, in the light
ef the.present time, even the application
of that sweet word 'charity' is
Tut on a different basis and Is now
called rhilarthrcpy It Is lccognlred
by all that tho mere giving hurts and
crlprles the recipient. Instead of
bclplng and strengthening, It weakens
and destroys character.
"Philanthropy is the science of helping
the unfortunate to help
It Is an odious thought to the
.American people to take away an individual's
self-respect. When the national
mind comes to the low level of
tolerating that thought we will have
Jost our magnificent manhood, which
is the crowning triumph of this century
nnd of our country.
Democracy Not Charity.
"When we now come to think asout
it the Democratic party does aat
-want its campaign financed either ea
charitable or on a philanthroplcal
basis. You gentlemen of the press
can make It orplpr for tho district,
county and pro!nt iha'rinen if you

Must Face Situation.
"It is said that the Amrican people
love fair play, and I believe it. It Is
llso said that we are a courageous
nation. I believe that also, for one
of these conditions can not exist without
th other. Now, no one ever accuses
us, as a people, of being thickheaded
and a nation of fools. Then
let us, as a people, drop pretense, bo
honest with ourselves and look tho
situation now confronting us squarely
and frankly In the face.

' campaign money from Incorporated
interests.
"Every one knows that It takes a
good sum of money to conduct national
campaigns. Wo know also that
Woodrow Wilson and his Immediate
associates ought not and perhaps can
not pay these bills. Now having elim
inated the corporations and trusts

from contrlbuting to the campaign
fund, if the rank and file do not discharge
their obligation to themselves
and their party by contributing to
this fund, what has the national committee
left to look to there Is only
one class left, that is, the rich.
People Should Contribute.
"Now I warn jou in all earnestness
that If these campaign expenses are
rift 4a r finl.1 1 r llmltnrl ntimliAW
ot rich peop'le, of by all tho
people, the country will not be
to any great extent. There
Vlll simply bo a shifting of the scenes.
The demagogues will hold forth and
Inflame the masses against the rich,
and jou know, gentlemen of the press,
that would not be fair play.
Must Not Breed Discontent
"We do not want to take a step that
would breed hate and discontent
the rich and poor throughout
the land. Also It Is manifestly clear
that If the few pay this debt they will
be depriving the many of the unusual
nnd rare opportunity of further deepening
and broa'dening their natures
and Increasing their love of country.
If there Is not love of country In a
man's heart, something of an opposite
feeling will creep In and take Its
place; indifference to or hate of country,
which is another word for anarchy.
It is only by servlco that we can
Increase our love for home, for mankind
or for country.
Service Increases Love.
"We know that tho persom who
helps and senes his friends, loves
them. Also that the man who gives
loving care and thought for his family
has his nature enriched and blessed
by a strong and deep love for home.
So, that man who serves his party and
country by actually contributing to
its support and giving to It his
service will experience a new
loo of party and of country which
in turn will prove the bulwark and
stability of our form of government
"As the Incorporated interests were
censured In tho past for contributing
to (.amraign funds, does not fair play
now demand that the people them-Hive,
fll tho breath and contribute
to th's fund?
Kentucky Should Respond.
"If, however, Kentucky Is delinquent

rlfp thn sum expected of her by the
rat onal 1 nance committee, and the
few men who now find themselves
In charge, should decide to raise
the money amongst theraseles In order
to uphold Kentucky's fair name
abroad; what would be ths result?

"Fair, play Is a Jewel. I hope you,
gentlcmoa of the Kentucky prtss, will
reflect upon this a little.
"Woodrow Wilson stands btfore the
nation as a magnlfloaat aiaaaple of patriotism
and exalted courage. Let us

first to be attuned to each other.
The Instruments themselves are

Some minds will not bo attuned

Service For Humanity.
"I say now to you, gentlemen of tho
Democratic press of Kentucky, that in
responding to tho imperious summons
laid upon you by our great party an 1
y our farseeing and courageous candidate,
who will not take the easy
road to tho White House, you will be
performing as heroic a senlco for humanity
as did the men who died for
their convictions.
"We can thank God that this will
be a bloodless battle, but we must
fully reallzo that It Is second to none
cf tho great struggles of the past for
the betterment of mankind.
Government by the People.
"Thus far I havo spoken 43 you
about the national campaign nnd the
obligations of tho people to finance it,
so that when tho Democratic administration
takes hold of the reins of government,
It will bo unhampered by
obligations to anyone but the great
ody of the American people, free to
choose from among them tho best
men to fill the offices and to ndvoce'ft
the best measures for their protection
and relief, thereby inaugurating In
reality a government of the people, by
the people.'
"What I have snld about financing
tbo.natlonal campaign, of course, a
piles with equal force to the Btate
campaign, but fortunately the cost or
running the state campaign will be
comparatively small. Under our plan
f organization I feel that the
amount necessary will be raised
much difficulty .In the various
counties, as the people seem to 'appreciate
the Importance and necessity nf
contributing to this fund and are doing
so liberally and cheerfully. ,
"I think ve will all agree that the
wark to bo done In Kentucky is to Impress
the people with tho Importance
f this election and the great opportunity
of perpetuating Democratic
principles, and to this end to discourage
In every way possible apathy and
everconfidence.
Object of Meeting
"There Is no agency and no body
f men In Kentucky better equipped
and qualified for this splendid service
than you gentlemen of the press, and
for the purpose of discussing and
the best ways and means to
acsomplish thesa ends we hare mot
taday. I trust that yon will spea't
your mind freely on this occasion and
lat us have the benefit of your experience
and thought."
